   Well,yes. I know how to make Windows not see those drives,but then
Windows can't see those drives. :-) I want those drives to be VISIBLE to
Windows (so I can look at my data,or access a DR-DOS command,rather than
use the pathetic MS-DOS equivalent),but I don't want Windows UPDATING
those drives (since I'll be using DR-DOS utilities on them).

   I think what I said earlier will work - finish all the Windows
installs,and then organise the DR-DOS partitions (I haven't tried the
deltree command,since presently I don't NEED to - the disks are clean at
the moment,from having fixed it earlier with a re-format).
